Overview Acnedim 20mg Capsule

Retinoid-based acne medication, Acnedim 20mg capsules, treats severe, unresponsive acne. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Consistent daily intake with food is recommended. While symptom improvement may take weeks, continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no progress is observed after several weeks. Common, usually transient, side effects include dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes. Report persistent or bothersome side effects. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility necessitate sun avoidance and postponement of waxing or laser treatments.
